I was actually proposing rigid guides as to what each term means, because right now a netbook is whatever marketing says it is. Orange Crush's boundries seem to be better than mine.

I think we need clearly defined sizes for terms or else we'll end up with 15 inch netbooks by the end of next year.

I propose:

• Portable: over 19.5in
• Notebook: 16.1in-19.5in
• Laptop: 11.1in-16.0in
• Netbook: 8.0in-11.0in
• Ultraportable: under 8.0in

Legally you'd still have to buy windows to run it in a VM, a professor/teacher can't advocate piracy (well they could but the carious higher ups probably won't like it).

I was 18 when I had to get permission (I was signing college forms by myself), the school administrators wouldn't accept my signature (I tried).

Bible-Belter here. 1984 was a required book in AP Lit.

Of course a parent did get mad when a lower grade (10th) read Dante's Inferno (near the end of the year). Then my teacher had to get permission for The Things They Carried---strangely being over 18 didn't mean you didn't have to get permission. Which then pissed off my parents and the parents of everyone else.

In my AP literature class the teacher picked 5 books to read (her theory was read a few good complex books and study them deeply, as appose to barely covering a bunch). She rotated most every year, the only constants were 1984 and King Lear.

Only English class I felt like I learned anything, which is slightly depressing.

Blind people always have the right of way ...

Ultimately the Government still ends up paying for the lawyers they need when they get sued (not the mention the judges and other court necessities).

Didn't walmart a couple years ago recall dog food for basically poisoning dogs?

I remember once reading the ideal body ratio is 3:2:3 (shoulders:waist:hips), which you provided.

To be fair he was told to pick his favorite one.

That's just the new car smell.

Even one computer has lots of cables.

One Computer:

1. Computer Tower Power Cable
2. Monitor Power Cable
3. Monitor VGA Cable
4. Keyboard Cable
5. Mouse Cable

Extras for the computer that I have

1. Speaker Cable, which splits into 2)
2. USB Hub Cable (I have 2 usb ports, 1 in front 1 in back)
3. USB Hub Power Cable
4. Printer Power Cable
5. Printer USB cable
6. Ethernet Cable
7. External Harddrive USB cable
8. External Harddrive Power Cable

Then don't forget the misc. cables.

1. Lamp Power Cable
2. Telephone Cable Cable
3. Camera Charger Cable
4. Camera USB Cable
5. Phone Charger Cable

And none of these are the perfect length so I end up have bunched up sections to take up the slack.

If they defined the avg like that it would be the mode. It just happens that IQs are normally distributed so mode=median=mean.
